This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/1/2016
Presented here is a highly collectible example of the popular 1967 Topps Football issue, found here in a really nice mostly Near-Mint and better condition, with a few Excellent to Mint, and missing only two cards, Nos. 48 and 56. A blazing Near-Mint to Mint No. 98 Joe Namath is found in a PSA 8 holder, confirming the stunning overall condition of the broader group. The set, which features players from the American Football League in the closing years as the two rival leagues approach an historic merger a few years later, is remarkably consistent, with blazing vivid colors, good centering and gloss and a sparkling overall presentation. The keys: No. 1 Huarte – Nr-Mt, 4 – Fair, 24 Kemp – Nr-Mt, 59 Checklist – Nr-Mt (diamond cut), 51 Dawson – Nr-Mt, 82 McDonald – Nr-Mt, 97 Maynard – Nr-Mt, 98 Namath – PSA 8, 105 Otto – Nr-Mt, 106 Biletnikoff – Nr-Mt, 123 Alworth – Nr-Mt, and 132 Checklist – Nr-Mt (diamond cut).
